PEAM #167- 10/30/13: Attention! Flashbacks Now Include Oiled Chest Rubbing! Guess Whose?
Recap By Pablo
Octavio and the lemming team sure have a sick idea of what fun is.
Someone has a red neck
Verónica is licking her lips because her plan came out perfect.
-Not so perfect- says Roger while grabbing her arm and pulling her -you're doing a lot of harm-
-Stop it! Between you and Jesús are going to tear my arms off!!
-Ok, ok, keep your arms, I am going to choke you!, here, take this!
-Mmmhhgggg, mmmghhhffff!!
Domitila shows up walking like she doesn't want to pop balloons on the floor, just in time to stop another murder, and Roger lets Verónica go...
-Damn! Now I owe my life to the help!
I am not a serial killer, so I don't understand why most of them have to post all the pictures of the people they want to kill, on a wall and cross them out with huge red ''exes''. Couldn't they just make a list in their minds and not have this physical proof that incriminates them once anybody sees it? I mean, what is the purpose? Keeping track? Isn't there an app for that? Why not make a list and keep it in the shirt pocket? Juárever, Verónica has a cork board on the wall with all the pictures and she goes and hits it with a knife every time she is upset, which is most of the time. That board has more holes than a strainer...
But knowing that Roger has found out about that wall has sealed Cynthia's fate, because she was the one who told Roger and knowing how gossipy everybody here is, Roger probably already told Jesús and now I am sure all Avon knows it... do you know what this means? First she has to go to Cynthia's Facebook page and download her picture for the wall, and then... After Cynthia, Roger is next!
I want my baby back!
Patricia is taking care of Fernandito, but Verónica wants him back. Probably just to be obnoxious, because she doesn't need a baby to take care of right now. I don't think she can juggle them both! Motherhood and her killing spree don't mix!
I just met La Tecolota, who? who?
Alma is still in Penal del Topochico where she has met la Tecolota (the owl), a nickname that I am sure Mrs. Salinas came up with.
I knew that would be contagious. Alma can also see in the dark and she enjoys her present very much before being abruptly interrupted by La Tecolota, who is always, day and night, on the lookout for her friends. So, when Alma feels exhausted by all the hard work she does here in jail and goes to the infirmary, she is told to take it easy and she will feel better sooner or later.
La Tecolota, as wise as always, says, I told you, it's agua y ajo (garlic and water), agua y ajoderse! (water and get screwed!) -I know, I know, only makes sense in spanish...
Almost over you
Now that Pánfilo and Chatita are back together and happier than ever, Susana came to see Sebastián with a fruit basket and something for Luisita. She is going to play charades with Quico and Valentina, men versus women. The fun part was when Quico said, it is the turn for the men. Yes Quico, the men, please move to the other couch. But then it was very sad because one thing led to another and when Mr. Bastian had to play ''Paulina Rubio'' he had to take Alma's picture to point at her blonde hair and almost started crying... Oh, I wish you were here, he said, but no, Alma was not synchronized with him and didn't appeared floating on a cloud talking to him. Sorry Charlie!
BTW, did you see that ugly plastic center table? That would make anybody cry!!
Alma needs to get out of jail ASAP, her hair is getting darker!
Jesús, to keep the tradition alive, talks with his reflection in the mirror. Why not, everybody is doing it! He opens the faucet and zas! Alma's image shows up floating in the air. They think of each other and communicate mentally through telepathy because in jail, Alma is opening another faucet to do some laundry. Buckets, water... this love has so many layers... BTW, Is she in the desert suffering a heatstroke? Hes lips are so white I thought she was not in jail but in the Sahara without water... Juárever, water brings them together. He closes the faucet and she does the same.
After that he invites Valentina to join him making something for Alma, like a photo album with keepsakes and family pictures.
Jesús' hobby is to annoy Verónica
Back in her house, Verónica has called Jacinto because she is in trouble and needs help. She didn't count on Jesús being this smart and he is giving her more trouble than she thought. You know, there's gotta be something very wrong with the police in México. Patricia should be recording those threatening calls from Verónica where she confesses that she has done everything that has endangered most of these people's lives. She told Patricia that was her that paid someone to stab her and kill her. Really? Nobody can do anything to catch this crazy woman even when she is telling everybody how evil she is? Nobody can get a warrant and search the house and see the wall with the pictures? There's gotta be a way to catch somebody like this, isn't there?
Better be safe than sorry, or dead
Cynthia, who know her friends like the palm of her hand, thought about wearing a huge winter coat in the middle of summer because she had a bullet proof vest underneath. But Verónica, who is always one step ahead of all her victims took a thin flower vase and with just one strike sent her friend to say hello to the worms. In a scene taken from monster movies from the 50s, Verónica digs a hole in the garden BY HERSELF while there's thundering and lightning, really? I am a man and I have dug holes for palm trees and other plants and I know how difficult it is to dig a hole the size of a 5 gallon bucket, and Verónica buried Cynthia with no effort... is she taking steroids? Verónica, when all this is over, you can always work in the landscaping business!
Despite all her craziness, Verónica is very organized and on her list she has to check what is the next step to follow.
Roger is next so he has to pay for what he has done like taking her son, marrying Patricia, almost choking her to death, and so on and so on...
So, she takes a bluephone, I guess it is disposable, and makes a phone call to the PGR (police) to anonymously denounce Roger and his ties to the mob. In that phone call you can hear everybody mentioning names and last names like Nick Donovan, Rogelio, Rivadeneira, money, Barbados, Cayman islands, etc. All incriminating of course...
I don't know why Verónica still needs a knife or a gun to kill people. Have you seen her ring? The one that looks like a big piece of broccoli? She can take the cap off someone's head with that? You just have to point it in the right direction! Scattered brains everywhere to be lifted with a spatula...
Please add DETECTIVE to the list of Jesús' attributes
After the killing and before the burying, and after visiting Alma with the Keepsake book, Jesús goes to spy on Verónica, who is being visited right this moment by Jacinto, one of her three people she hired to do some of her dirty work. I am glad Jacinto didn't see Jesús' car just there by the entrance, otherwise, he could have warned his boss. But he gets there, gets the money he earned with the sweat of his forehead and a gun, and leaves.
¡Tengo que seguirlo!
Jesús follows him and when Jacinto is talking to Cassandra, the woman who actually killed Marta, Jesús calls Delia to inform her and ask her that she should come with another half of a SWAT team.
When they capture Cassandra (after shooting Jesús on the deltoid muscle and scratching it- and please add HERO to the list of Jesús' attributes), Delia asks him how did he manage to know she was another suspect? And he says that he talked to the hobo on the surveillance video and he told him that the woman he saw doing the killing had a sparkling tooth. And they sound too, because every time Cassandra shows the diamond (or the Swarovski, I don't know a lot of rhinestones) in a close up, you can hear Tinkerbell waving her wand. Ok. So Jesús did all that and the police what? Didn't they see the same video too and see the same hobo? Why didn't they interrogate him? Why is Jesús getting a badge if he didn't go to police academy?
Oh, and did I tell you about Marta's glamour shot they found in Cassandra's things? That was funny!! Like she'd have them just laying around. I am telling you, people should think carefully what they upload to Facebook!
You can't hurry sex, no, you just have to wait
Julio and Aída are definitely cursed! They went to a very expensive and exclusive hotel to be alone and have no interruptions and guess what? Yes! The SWAT team kicked the door off and scared them to death only to apologize seven seconds later when they realized they were in the wrong room.
Trading places
Before leaving, Alma swears to her new friend La Tecolota that she will never forget her, that she will do ANYTHING for her once out and so on, and so on. I can see that tear pacts are stronger than blood ones and in the future, I wouldn't be surprised if La Tecolota ends up working at Avon, even if she has to help Pánfilo or replace another security guard off guard.
No happiness is ever complete. Just when Alma was returning home and everybody was crying tears of happiness during the group hug, Rogelio has to go to jail... So not fair! What will his family do without him? Will he get a keepsake book too? Will Patricia stamp Fernandito's feet on a piece of paper pretending is a butterfly or is that just for girls? Keep tuned!!
Because in this TN, like in a rite of passage, everybody has to get pregnant and/or all have to go to jail. Take your pick!!
Random scene:
Vuelve el perro arrepentido
Ricardo lost his job and is penniless. WWJD? Would he give him another chance at AVON? I wouldn't.
Tomorrow: What's the difference between ignorance and indolence? I don't know and I don't care!!
If you notice that I am failing on the previews, is because my VCR stopped right before them, but I really don't care for them!

Pablo:
Fabulous recap! So funny and snarky.
I couldn't believe Killeronica wanted her bebe back, I bet just for more blackmail! I can't believe she killed Cynthia and then buried her, like she was taking out the trash! Que, Que, What? She is one sick beyotch. I just wish Rog had never told her about that Wall of Doom.
I am so glad Alma is out of the jail and I hope she does something to help Tecolota.
Loved that almost doing the deed of Aida and Julio, it's sad cause Chucho set that up and then here came the cops, poor things. They are indeed cursed.
Chucho learned well from Delia. Suarez needs a new job. Oh, I meant to mention yesterday about the gun, regardless of whether Alma had GSR on her hands, the cops should have figured out there was a missing bullet. There were only so many in Marta, there should have been one missing.
The previews just showed Suarez coming for a visit to Killeronica. Ruh Roh!

Very funny, Pablo! Thanks. So, Veronica on steroids or could end up in the landscaping business? Maybe also on a prison chain gang.
I liked your idea of jail and pregnancy being rights of passage. Too funny.
For as unreal so much of this is, they did give Veronica bruises on her neck from Jesus's hands. Veronica has been so persistent in her harassment of Jesus I don't understand why she didn't file a charge against him with the police. I guess the murderous rampage she is on is robbing her of her "common sense. "
As someone said yesterday, this is playing much better as a drama than a comedy. Too bad they never found the right tone for this thing. So much wasted talent and time.
Happy Halloween to all. We are up for a trifecta of holidays here! Time for dead bread!

Ahhh Pablo, thank you for yet another humorous masterpiece.
An app for serial killers - hilarious.
Yes, Quico should go to the "kid's table". What an annoying storyline.
I so agree, why is Killeronica still roaming free? Que the heck!
Yes, Jesus should be a detective and Suarez should be fired.
Jail and or pregnancy, yep, they are the rites of passage.
Onward!

I wonder how much nonsensical craziness awaits us in the next (last) episodes!! I am scared!

Very clever recap, Pablo. I liked "isn't there an app for that?," Killeronica's board having "more holes than a strainer," "Alma can also see in the dark" like her wise roommate, the twist on an old Supremes song, and of course WWJD. I do hope they follow up with the Owl. Maybe Chucho can clear her also. I also was doubtful about Vero digging a grave in her yard. I no longer have the energy to plant bulbs. The neighborhood racoons will be digging that body up pretty soon.
Ithabill, just yesterday I was telling my coworkers about a study I read that showed that people with few socialization opportunities are actually much more emotionally healthy when they watch soap operas -- so those people ARE kind of real, at least to our brains!
Thanks Pablo! Gotta admit your title drew me in on this busy morning. Will comment more later but wanted to thank you for the recap and "ajo y agua". What a great saying!
Thanks, Pablo! Favorite line: "Yes Quico, the men, please move to the other couch." I'd say "please move to another apartment," but that might hurt his feelings. ;-)
I'm sure I couldn't dig a grave if my life depended on it. (What an odd scenario that would be.) But I didn't need to dig back when I had a yard, because I had a couple of dogs who LOVED to dig. They'd dig wherever they felt like digging, and I'd stick a plant in the hole. True story. One of them also gnawed through the root of a tree, and a new tree grew out of the gnawed-off piece.
Madelaine, I was thinking the same thing about the fourth bullet. Any TV cop would have been obsessed with finding it. Suarez is the laziest cop on earth.

Of course, the missing bullet could have been discharged weeks ago for all they know - its absence proves nothing. But that's not how it works out for TV cops!
First of all, ditto for everything Ithabill said in his comment. It's like we have the same brain! Itabill. But also, I absolutely loved your "preview" Pablo....
"What's the difference between ignorance and indolence? I don't know and I don't care!" This telenovela has brought out the best in you Pablo because you are brilliant when you're annoyed.

Hahaha! Thanks!
Is purely unintentional.
While I actually hate what this production did to my sporadic TN enjoyment, I would like to see, in the future, something that I actually enjoy and recap it, just to see what comes out.

The recapping experience is very different if you really love the show. For one thing, it takes much longer because you want to linger over every little thing.
Also, it's hard to be snarky when you like the characters and don't think they're stupid. Fortunately, this is rare.

Well I will hope for that then Pablo. We love your humor but we also love your cultural information and your help with Spanish dichos. So stick around bad boy!
Thanks Pablo! You actually got an eventful episode last night. Stuff happened!
I'm glad Alma is finally free. By the way, her face and lips were so white because of the anemia, but the doctor also said she was also having emotional issues that were contributing to her poor health. I guess being wrongly imprisoned can make a person depressed-- on top of the post partum issues.
We knew it was coming, but Rogue will be our newest guest through the jail set's revolving door. Maybe he'll find a BFF with a cool nickname like Alma did in prison. What happens to his baby? Pato has no legal claim on the child since she and Rogue aren't married.

Thanks for the scientific backup, Blue Lass. I've always thought of these characters are real. I still walk around saying "Poor Val." (Knot
